Table 2 Association between pre-infection vitamin E status and measures of HIV-1 disease progression

Outcomes	β (95% CI) or HR (95% CI)	P	Adjusted* β (95% CI) or HR (95%CI)	P
Set point viral load (log₁₀ copies/ml)	+.09 (+.01, +.17)	0.038	+.08 (-.01, +.17)	0.066

β, mean change in outcome for each 1 mg/L increase in vitamin E (linear regression); CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio (Cox proportional hazards regression).
* Adjusted for age at infection, education, parity, hormonal contraception at infection, GUD at infection [11].
